Guidelines

EU Standards of Practice in Interventional Stroke Treatment

April/May 2017

A working group of ESNR, ESMINT and the UEMS Division for Neuroradiology has developed a consensus paper on standards of practice in interventional stroke treatment. It was reviewed and approved by the Executive Boards of ESNR and ESMINT and by the members of the UEMS Division for Neuroradiology in 2017.

A group of international multi-disciplinary Neuro-Interventional societies, among them ESMINT, which are involved in the endovascular management of acute ischemic stroke, have put forth these training guidelines. They believe that "a neuroscience background, dedicated neurointerventional training, and stringent peer review and quality assurance processes are critical to ensuring the best possible patient outcomes. Well-trained neurointerventionalists are a critical component of an organized and efficient team needed to deliver clinically effective mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke patients."
